摘要:

The pathology files of 319 consecutive temporal artery biopsies performed at the Wills Eye Hospital during an 11-year period were reviewed. Fifty-three (17%) of the biopsies were shown to have histological evidence of arteritis. Histopathologic disease was found predominately in women and only in individuals over the age of 60 years. There was no correlation between the length of the biopsy specimen and histological finding in all specimens 4 mm or longer. Sampling probability provided a method of calculating the likelihood of detecting small lesions. With proper sampling techniques, the likelihood of not detecting arteritis due to “skip lesions” in a specimen may be set under 1%.

摘要:

A 31-year-old white man was found to have Brown's syndrome following severe closed-head injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. Computed tomography scans revealed a displaced fracture of the right orbital roof, with entrapment of the superior oblique muscle. Surgical attempts to free the muscle were unsuccessful, so the superior oblique tendon was recessed 10 mm, and the inferior rectus was recessed on an adjustable suture. We believe this to be the first report of a case of entrapment producing an acquired Brown's syndrome and the first case of a motility disorder resulting from entrapment of an extraocular muscle in an orbital roof fracture.
